Specifically, supposing that the cell including n cell portions, each cell portion including m UpPTS interference measurement positions, and the acquired measurement result is Pij, therein, i can be equal to any natural number from 1 to n, indicating the i-th cell portions, and n is the total number of cell portions in service cell; j indicates the j-th UpPTS interference measurement position, and m is the total number of UpPTS interference measurement positions in service cell; so Pij indicates the UpPTS interference measurement of the j-th UpPTS interference measurement position in the i-th cell portion, and there are m*n Pij in total.

Step 202, base station transmits UpPTS interference measurement.

After the base station measures the UpPTS interference, it is necessary to transmit the acquired UpPTS interference measurement Pij to RNC.

Specifically, the process of the base station transmitting UpPTS interference measurement comprising the following steps:

a) Base station sorts the measurement results.

When the base station get the UpPTS interference measurement Pij of each UpPTS interference measurement position in each cell portion, sorting the Pij, and the sorting principle may be sorting the Pij according to the value of Pij, and also may be sorting the Pij according to the cell portion ID corresponding to the Pij.

Step 203, RNC determines the transmitting position of UpPTS of service cell according to the mean method.

After the RNC receives all the UpPTS interference measurement Pij sent by the base station, RNC determines the transmitting position of UpPTS of service cell according to the received measurement result of each UpPTS interference measurement position of each cell portion, and takes the UpPTS interference measurement position with minimum Pij value (that is the minimum interference) as the transmitting position of UpPTS to transmit UpPTS, to ensure the access success rate of UpPTS.
